Risk Assessment

When we were filming our opening, we had to tackle of a few risk assessments before we were able to go ahead with the filming.

• Before we started filming, we had to make sure the camera was set up properly. This meant that it was attached safely and properly to the tripod and that the microphone was attached to the microphone tripod correctly. 
• We had to ensure the microphone was switched on and that the battery was in properly (as the microphone was a major issue the first time we filmed).
• Whilst we were filming i made sure i was not disrupting any of the public and not getting in there way.
• We made sure that all of the actors (myself and two other people) were safe and that the acting we were doing was not harmful in anyway towards, the public or the environment surrounding us.
• We had to make that the camera and microphone had our full awareness and that they did not get lost, damaged or stolen.
• We had to make sure the tripod was in an upright position securely on the ground and was not obstructing the public in any way.
• Also, because we were in a public park, we had to be aware of dogs incase they got too near to the camera.
